A total of 33 graduate students from the four academic programs in our school — English Language and Literature, Foreign Linguistics and Applied Linguistics, Japanese Language and Literature, and Area and Regional Studies — took turns presenting their research, convering the background and significance of their thesis, literature review, research methodology, content, and conclusions. During the defense, the judges provided timely encouragement based on the students' performance and the quality of their papers, while also offering practical suggestions for improvement. The academic atmosphere was intense, the process was well-organized, and there was active interaction between faculty and students.
